What messenger(s) do you use?

[Cherrim]

I use WLM/MSN primarily. It's heavily customized, too, with MsgPlus, StuffPlug, MessPatch, etc. I love it to the point where I'm pretty sure it's the main reason I'll never use another OS aside from Windows as my main OS. MSN substitutes just won't cut it for me. I need my tags, I need my desktop clients, I need my custom away messages, I need my personal messages/currently listening, I need the voice chat/webcam capabilities, I need the side-docking... It's just so personally customized that getting used to any sort of other program for my MSN needs would be like taking a huge step backwards.

It's also probably the reason I can't really get into any other IM protocols. I use AIM occasionally since there are a very finite number of people I speak to who don't use MSN, but I almost always forget to sign into AIM in the first place.

I don't use anything else.

AIM ftw! I downloaded MSN once so that I could, y'know talk to people on PC, but it confused me too much, so I'm sticking with AIM

I've always used MSN, and so do all my friends. I actually don't know anyone at my school that uses AIM instead of MSN. o__O

I also have Skype, but I only have one contact, so I'm almost never on.

My main messenger client is MSN, used with Live Plus.

AIM and MSN mainly. AIM is for my friend in real life while MSN is for staff contacts. I have Yahoo! but that's just... ew.

MSN for me too. Dunno why I only have that one though. Bleh.

The client I use is Adium 1.2.3.

Besides, how can you not use it? Look at the cute Adium ducky...






Okay, that was definitely out of character...

MSN. I also hav a YIM, but it's not installed on either of the comps I use, but I guess I should get YIM as a backup to MSN...

I use MSN a lot, but since it's broken, I use Yahoo, instead.

MSN broke AGAIN!? >.<

@ DMNT: lol a ducky xDD

Oh good, it's multiple choice...

Windows Live Spammer for general use, and Xfire for my gaming buddies.

Pidgin, its pretty damn versatile. I hate using multiple messengers anyways.

I used to use AIM a very long time ago, but I started to use MSN because everyone I talked to online use MSN. And I just used AIM for talking to my family and my closest friends in RL. But now, I don't use AIM anymore because it got messed up on me. So I use MSN with Msgplus(customization for the win!) full time now. I don't use anything else.

Windows Live Messenger and Steam.

I usually use yahoo MSN messenger.It is more helpful and easy to use.

For actual programs I use Emesene (as it's an excellent implementation of MSN on linux*) and Pidgin for AIM, ICQ and Y!. I also use XChat for IRC. So yeah, most of the big names. ;)

*and a vast improvement on Microsoft's MSN client.
